Hi all,
In today’s article for the Warhammer Community site we got to see the free rules released for Vashtorr’s Boarding Action army. I am a little surprised that they gave him one as you can’t really fit many daemon engines in Boarding action and he definitely does not fit. While I have yet to play Boarding Action he gets some nifty abilities.
While your army is limited to cultists-only, you get extra troops slots. Your Warlord also gets an extra blessing:
All three of these are pretty good and have their uses. The ability to control an objective from the start is also a lot of fun.
The Arkifane also gets a host of quite useful stratagems:
Exploding 6’s, -1 to be hit in shooting, slamming your opponents models when they open a door, all are fun options. While you won’t use all of these they are things your opponent will have to play around which is useful. My favorite is Daemon in the Machine, as, while it is 50/50 it can completely tilt the game. You aren’t limited to using it once per game either.
Like Vashtorr’s Army of Renown, this force is one that has its uses and provides some cheeky traps for your opponent to fall into. If you like cultist forces then you really want to take this force as it makes them much more usable.
